cause of that special sympathy and confidence
which existed between them through life may
have been indicated. OF the fact itself there
can be no doubt 1t was to Sir Henry Gordon
that General Gordon from very early period of
his career confded matters kept secret from
everybody else, and it was he also who arranged
those monetary and business transactions for
which, even when necessary, General Gordon
had singular aversion. This arrangement
arose, not from conviction that Sir Henry
Gordon was good man of business, but from
his belief, justified by experience, that he would
faithfully carry out the wishes of his very
businesslike brother.

THE Boston Herald doubts whether John
G. Whittier would be received in England
with anything like the honors paid to that
other Boston favorite, John L. Sullivan, and
is inclined to grumble thereat. The Herald
is worrying itself needlessly There is reason
to believe that Mr.. Whittier would not care
for a jeweled champion belt, and would not
enjoy a reception of which brass band
formed leading feature. Possibly, too, he
would not wish to be received by bowling
mob. such as that which gave Sullivan so
tumultuous greeting. There is fitness in
things which the Boston paper seems not to
appreciate

A NEW YORK dispatch says Mrs Kellogg
mother of Clara Louise, does not believe that
her daughter has married Mr. Strakosch. Mrs.
Kellogg had not seen yesterdays Journal
when she said this. There is no doubt that
the prima donna has taken to herself a hus-
band. The Journal gave the facts to the
world before the cards were out but no harm
is done. Marriage is honorable, and Clara
ought not to be ashamed of it, or try to con-
ceal it. By so doing she might have missed
the congratulations of host of admirers, and
well wishes which are now extended to her.

THERE is many farmer in this and other
States who will, metaphorically speaking,
''kick a hole through the armament" for hav-
ing paid his ten-dollar royalty on the driven
we'll in his barn-yard. The Supreme Court
Of the United States has decided that the
patent is void, but the decision comes too
late to save thousands who have paid the
royalty rather than be sued FOR such a small
amount. a thriving business has been carried
on during the last few years by collecting
agents, who, by threats and persuasion, have
forced these ten-dollar tributes out of the
innocent farmer. Now their occupation will
be gone. and they will be compelled to seek
fresh fields and pastures new.

a little mixed. The spirit of liberty and love
for American principles, which caused John
Browns soul to go marching on, is not the
same that animated the Anarchists, but is
the same that caused them to be hanged; it
is the same that led the people of the North
to rise in their might and subdue the An
archists of the South twenty-five years ago.
They were more lenient to the chief miscre
ants in those days, though, else Jeff Davis
had been hanged to 'fsour apple-tree" in
truth, as well as in song.

THE accidental shooting of one member of

night pursuit of imaginary burglars, is an in
cident reported almost daily in the dispatches
The "winging" of wife or son by the valiant
head of the household, who is providing
occurrence than the shooting of an actual
thief. The secret of the matter is that the
man who carries a pistol for protection is
usually a coward and frightened at his own
shadow. When supposed emergency arises,
and he is forced to search for the cause of
suspicious sounds about his premises, he is
in state of nervous agitation, not to say
terror, which becomes panic when he catches
ready cooked and held before him; he shuts
his eyes and shoots, and investigates after
wards. If, as may happen one time in ten
thousand, burglar is bagged, then, indeed,
the shooter is a hero in his own eyes and
those Of his neighbors, and secures a reputa-
ton for cool bravery which serves him we'll
for the rest of his natural life. IF, as is more
likely to be the case, the victim of the wild
shot is an innocent occupant of the house,
the heroism is less apparent and the perpe-
traitor of the accident" becomes a sufferer
from remorse. The revolver is a weapon
which not one man in fifty is fit to carry, and
the fiftieth man is amply able to take care of
himself without one.

once more respecting the little boy, Clifford
Sackman, who has not yet been restored to his
parents. He was cared for by the Womans
Society of Eaton Ohio, on the ed of October
and given a railroad ticket to Cincinnati. The
officers say they could soon get the trail if
the parents could pay the travelling expenses.
But they have paid out all the money they have,
and unless help is extended to them, may prob
ably never their child again. 1t is thought
the boy started off from pure love of adventure.
IF this be true, he may wish he was back home
when the year has run its course.

South Bend Times Dem.)
The immediate lesson to be drawn from this
whole wretched business is. that it devolves up
on all good citizens to cultivate higher regard
for existing laws. Once let the idea become
prevalent that laws enacted for the welfare and
protection of society may be disregarded and set
at defiance with impunity, and popular govern
ment is at an end. Contempt for and defiance
of law inevitably leads to social disorder and
eventually TO anarchy.
